ETS2 update 1.9 is live

The highly anticipated AI update (and also the largest update so far) for Euro Truck Simulator 2 has just been released for everyone.

It took us a while, but it's finally here! We want to say thanks for amazing support of everyone who has helped us with beta testing and reporting remaining problems with this patch. We have been through a very rigorous public feedback loop - and over 20 intermittent beta builds! It has taken us longer than we anticipated to finalize the game update, but as a bonus we have managed to work around critical compatibility problems with several popular mod packages.

Steam version will be updated automatically, retail patch can be found on the update page. We expect high amount of people trying to download this update and we are fairly sure our server won't handle it, so consider activating your key on Steam and downloading it much faster from Steam servers.

Modding info

If you are using mods and some of them don't work, please be patient. ProMods with support for 1.9 will be released today (thanks guys for your bug reports for 1.9!), other map and physics mods (this includes weather mods etc. which can change physics values) may not work correctly.

I shouldn't need to rely on a mod to fix it. I've mailed SCS about this problem months ago, but never got a reply. I hope they will fix this, because it's so annoying to be forced to switch lane last-second. (The AI vehicles don't really like me for doing that.)

* Do you want to reach the infos with the quickest way? Then,we're waiting for you at our Facebook community.Infos never published somewhere else and high quality photos...We want you to be with us. :-)

Fuck you! Just because they posted pictures of the trucks it doesnt mean that we will get them today or tomorrow. They have to build a model test it and release it. Please have patience and if you cant have then fuck off.

They are a small team working on several projects in parallel. Everytime SCS makes a blog post there are always assholes like AnonymousMarch 25, 2014 at 7:32 PM who demand things now. You people dont have patience. All the updates are free and you fuckers still complain so fuck you all. It doesn't matter when the truck was released and when the game was released. They didnt put the mp4 because they didn't get license from Mercedes. Now that they got license they will put the Actros MP4 in the game and what I said sounds fair.

shut your fucking mouth !! the schould be working on project and finish it step by step so fuck you !!! the realesed a unfinshed game and now they make the patches to complete it the had to do that before the relaese the game in my opinion !!! fuck you and shut up !!! your fucking mouth !! i have sell the game the dlc and i play it with fun but thats true !!

You seem a bit ungrateful, let me help you with that. They're by no means a big budget company. We're talking a 10 man/woman team. They're not only working completely with modders, but also updating the game as much as they can in the time they've allotted to themselves, which may not always work out as they hoped for as time progresses. Perhaps a simple "thank you" would suffice. Seeing as they could of done what a lot of big budget companies do and release their game as is and forgot about it entirely. Let's not forget that they've accomplished getting proper licenses for the trucks too, which is not only difficult to get from companies but expensive too. Obviously you have zero clue on what it actually takes to build a game, particularly what goes in behind the scenes such as getting the licenses for the trucks and tedious tasks such as that. Maybe you should either find a game that better suits your abusive complaints and or, better yet, further your education as your spelling is atrocious to say the least. You're acting like a 9 year old brat that didn't get what they want, you should be treated as such and therefore you should be sent back to your room, where you can refrain from using the internet and hopefully in the time you have to reflect on your negative comments you can pick up a dictionary.

You still dont understandFirstly SCS is a small dev company and they work on many projects in parallel. Secondly a truck needs to be made first and then they have to test it before final release.You are very demanding because you ask so many thing at once and you cannot have them. I can confirm to you that it takes 6 months to create 1 truck. You will see new trucks on the game but you need to have patience. They were focusing on releasing 1.9 which slowed them down. The posted the DAF XF Euro 6 on November 26th 2013 which means that we might get it in April or May. They sold you a game without promising that they will add features and they made every free to us and you still complain! What can I say. You dont respect the hours that the programmers have spent making all this patches for FREE. They have worked there asses off and still working.

You don´t understand what i mean i have buyed the cd version und going east addon for 40 euro total 30 euro for the game and 10 euro for the dlc and i mean since one can expect slightly better performance !! And for example the mb licence is lost since the game released in 2012 oktober !! The MP4 is out as 2011 before the game relaesed they should have so enough time to make the mp4 end !!! you little piece of shit sounds like an developer of the game looking finish !!

They didn't get license from Mercedes at first place so thats why they didnt put the Actos MP4. Now they are coming closer so both sides will agree and we will have fully branded Mercedes trucks and the new mp4. I too paid for the game and dlcs but I want more things from SCS. More money=more features to be added.

You're obviously extremely dense and or a 12 year old child incapable of understanding the concepts behind making a video game. FYI, no I am not a developer of any game. I can, however, appreciate the time and effort SCS has put forth in a game they could of released AS IS, as most big budget companies do this sort of practice nowadays. It really isn't SCS's fault that they're unable to obtain the Mercedes license, a lot of car and truck companies refrain from allowing companies use their licensed vehicles because they're afraid of their name and vehicles being damaged. This is why big budget companies like Rockstar (The company that made Grand Theft Auto) do not have licensed vehicles in their game. If you want the Mercedes that bad, download a mod that puts it in the game. Mods aren't burdened by having to have a license in order to use the name. Perhaps if you think you can do better, or if you seem to think it's so easy to do, maybe you should make your own game and see how far you get.

Haha do you guys remember, what feels like years ago, when SCS said "In hours at the worst days 1.9 should be live" and now, 2.5 weeks later, HERE IT IS!!! Btw Dave you owe me a tenner, told ya they would say "it took longer than we thought" its in every blog post, why would you bet against me on that!

Yeah i uninstalled the game due to force feedback just not working, i have the G27 and it has no resistance regardless of what you do with the settings, give it a bit of left/right steer and the cab starts to list its pretty horrific.

you are the idiot who can't see the difference.steering wheel sensivity is totally fucked up. the game is now ets: most wanted, where you can turn 90 degrees just by turning sw 5 degrees.... Perfect example of ruining a game

I'm more than sure that patch could display various errors, strange words and mystical, or even hexadecimal numbers, but not "something's wrong". So one simply can not help you, even if there's good will to help you.

sorry for bad English, but here's what he writes : Unable to read fileIthe game files were not modified.You can apply this update again after fixing the issue.More information about this issue might be available in the log found in C:\Users\Damir\Local\Temp\ets2_patch_0000000053320ECBand Thanks

From what you write I think you downloaded the patch and selected 'run' so that the patch runs actually from your temp folder.This could get you some issues like the one you're experiencing.Instead, try to redownload from www.gamershell.com: click download, then click again when your file is ready and then choose 'save file as' and choose to save it to your desktop. Extract that RAR-file, this will create a map on your desktop, open it and start your update. Works fine on my system :-)

Thank you soo much Scs Team for the new patch!!!You have done an awsome job. Im downloading patch from torrent so it shouldnt melt your servers.Anyway Thanks for the retail version i dont use steam and didnt mind the wait but keep releasing patches for non-steam users to!!!

Surely all these "Well done comments" dont use a wheel, specifically the G27? Go in the game, move all the force feed back/resistance sliders one way, play the game and then go in the settings and move them the other, they simply do not work anymore the wheel dosent auto centre or try, there is no resistance even on full lock, no more power steering resistance when engine off, broken.

At last the new patch bringing with him lots of improvements , but i will wait for the patch from Promods , for now that actual version is not compatible with 1.9 , can't wait to test these new features.

I agree, the suspension is very weird right now.I only experienced a weird kinda wobble before 1.9.- in the 6x4 trucks (the ride wasn't smooth when turning).But now the 6x2 trucks have the same kind of weird wobble with 1.9.-.Also, the truck keeps shaking when you turn...As you said, it's a step backwards.

A step backward v? It's a NIGHTMARE , not step backward. SCS wtf are you doing there ? You gave us a bugged patch ? Are you mocking us ? We paid for your fucking game, you fucking morons ! get back you lazy asses and repair this nightmare patch !

Since Mercedes has been lisenced, the next patch v1.10.x may release new trucks such as officially MB Actros MP4, DAF XF Euro 6 and Renault T pending (Man TGX Euro 6 will come later).The physic problems will be fixed in v1.9.22+.

My wishlist:- A simple Record & Replay facility. Last few minutes would do. I want to see my errors when something goes wrong. After all it's a simulator, right?- Pavement slippery when wet. This forces us (that's me and AI) to drive more carefully.- Some oncoming cars with high beams on. So that I get pissed off and flash them.Not updated yet, waiting for the evening.

SCS Team , First of all - great job for the 1.9 update , I like it a lot. I want to let you know that playing with mouse is still not comfortable.Turning the steering wheel with mouse is good and it can be adopted, but controlling the acceleration and braking with mouse is very sensitive and difficult to master.I am sure you will overcome this problem and we will have good acceleration and braking control with mouse.

Well for those getting an Error you need to disable all map packs as there is a fault with the update, Yes a fault... the maps have not been done correctly for the update there for causing steam to crash with the maps you have loaded. Disable all and the game will run.Been in contact with SCS and they only released going east, Poland, Czech etc so it not there fault.I have bases in tunis,Greece and spain at are no longer on the world map, I am hoping that this problem is fixed VERY VERY SOON as that was my main reason for buying the game.

Good morning, I have a problem with the new upgrade and mods, I update gmp and the console gives me this error with the mods, I did not check the game alone puts not if game error or something that has to make more thanks

I drive with keyboard only and I'm not liking the new physics/suspension whatever it is. I like the AI and all other 1.9 changes but can we please get the 1.8 physics back. In fact I found the handling of the trucks in much earlier versions more realistic (trucks were more likely to spin out if cornered too fast).

How many times are you gonna change the structure of the game idiots ? Are you not able to do a CONSTANT game ? You are a bunch of incompetents ! I want to play constrant with my mods in peace and I can't because of you, because you are idioots and change evereything from one patch to another !

I wouldn't put it that hard in words but , in esence , it is true, the patches form SCS are nightmares for modders. They never were able to keep a structure from a patch to the next one. I understand that guy's wrath.

I agree , they screwed up, once again, big time, especially with the so called "new physics". New physics my ass..is just a catastrophy and the new V8 sound is just a exhaust sound, baaah ! They think we all are morons...I won't pay for their shitty game anymore

You don,t have to patch your game. You don't have to got Volvo, Iveco and Daf licence; Volvo Fh16, Iveco Stralis, Scania Streamline; better AI, Going East DLC, and other things. So don't complain. Yo must remember that game is made by Scs not modders and they have all rights for this game.

Can I just say!!!! Thx scs for all your hard work........the game of my dreams......1.9 patch proving to be very stable on my rig, screen update very fast, driving feels even better now, g25 working well done......

Speak for yourself I will buy games and dlc´sFucking moron´s, what you want is a company developing games for free?? for the big brains of modders have their own toys?? create your own games and stop crying, little childs.When you have a job, you will work for free?? hahaha

Here´s another one SCS, keep feed this people, and now here is your reward.....

Many thanks to all the SCS team for my share of the update. My first trip anew was all in darkness to Zurich but already the many subtle improvements are apparent, including the "I" in AI. I look forward to seeing lots more when light dawns!

Hi,What do you mean with 'more gears'. Does the truck now got up to 16 or 18 gears, or does the truck go from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 etc, rather then 1 to 3 to 5 etc. Both of these I didn't spot yet. As last: those more gears, are these for simple and realistic automatic?Thanks for the nice update, keep going!

- A Scania without skirts/spoilers is a RARE sight in reality. The Highline remodeling was a good move!!!- Most new Scanias have their GRILLE painted the same as the rest of the truck. This should be implemented in the game!!

Perhaps like this:-Older Scania remains same-Streamline with powerful engines would remain with black grille.-But Streamline with weaker engine would have the grille colored like the truck!

I wish so much they could take a little time for preetyfing all 7 old trucks in the game..i mean, bring them closer to reality, not tunning.Just more tires are welcomed.And show us they start the work for another MAP DLC, no matter how far, or not, they are. Hungary and Italy are unfinished, Spain, Portugal, and all Scandinavia..and last, resolve the BUGS with the physics from actual version .very good job with the new AI !!!

Steering acts funny now. I have the Logitech GT and I could play the game without any problems with previous versions.

With V1.9, steering became wobbly, as if there's a lag between the wheel and the game. You steer, the truck doesn't turn enough, steer a little more and suddenly it's too much. I had to switch the speed limiter back on because I can't drive at higher speeds anymore.
